Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) are professionals who help people with communication and swallowing disorders. They work with individuals of all ages, from children who struggle with speech to adults recovering from strokes. SLPs assess, diagnose, and treat various issues, using techniques tailored to each person's needs.
In addition to improving speech and language skills, SLPs also provide support for social communication and cognitive-communication challenges. They often collaborate with families, teachers, and other healthcare providers to create effective treatment plans. Their goal is to enhance communication abilities, allowing individuals to express themselves and connect with others more effectively.
